"That at the name of Jesus every knee should bend, of those in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." (Philippians 2: 10 - 11 NABRE)
Today is the Feast of the Most Holy Name of Jesus. What is in a name? Consider the following:
#1. "Hallowed be Thy Name." (Matthew 6: 9)
#2. "Thou shall not invoke the Name of the Lord thy God in vain." (Exodus 20: 7)
#3. "At the Name of Jesus, every knee should bend.." (Philippians 2: 10 - 11)
The Name of Jesus means a big deal. Jesus is His Name. That Name means Savior. Jesus means what it signifies and signifies what it means. According to St Bernard of Clairvaux, Father and Doctor of the Church, "The sweet name of Jesus produces in us holy thoughts, fills the soul with noble sentiments, strengthens virtue, and nourishes pure affections.... This name is the cure for all diseases of the soul."
Jesus we trust in You. Have mercy on us and the whole world.
